Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, AUGUST 17, 1962--- PAGE 6 One Way To Make Sure Of Getting Poor MPs _-- Some papers are making a big fuss about the stock-holdings of Prime Minister Diefenbaker's new senator and minister without portfolio, financier Wallace McCutcheon, They argue that Mr. McCutcheon should purify himself by selling all his stocks and thus rid himself of the tempta- tion to give special help to companies in which he has shares. It is only coincidence, perhaps, that these newspapers find Liberals full of virtue and Conservatives full of evil. We do not recall, for example, that they were at all perturbed by the private investments of the late (and great) Mr. C. D. Howe. By implica- tion, they are saying that Mr. Mac- Cucheon has less integrity than Mr. Howe -- a serious charge, and one that simply can not be supported. There is still the matter of prin- ciple, however. Should! a cabinet minister be expected to divest him- self of his private investments upon taking office? The appointed heads of departments of the U.S. govern- ment are expected to do so. We do not think such action is necessary or, indeed, desirable. It is More Tourist Tourist establishments in Ontario have been doing nine per cent more business this summer than last, ac- cording to figures issued by the pro- vincial department of travei and publicity. The nine per cent figure is an average for the province, and many areas have done much better than that. In the Madawaska Valley, for example, retail sales during the last two weeks in July were up 22 per cent over the same period last year. Anniversary celebrations at Tim- mins undoubtedly helped to boost the "Golden Route" region's. business by the estimated 12 to 14 per cent. The continuing boom in boating would ac- count for the 50 per cent increase in the yachting trade on Ontario's ' waterways, with Georgian Bay and the Great Lakes leading the upward trend. wrong for a man to hold high office in both government and private busi- ness he cannot serve two masters. But his investments are another matter; they are his hedge against the future, and we do not pay our legislators enough to ask them. for substantial financial sacrifices. Be- sides, if we elect people who are weak enough to be corrupted by the oppor- tunities for personal gain afforded them by their place in government, we can expect them to pick our pockets whether they have other financial interests or not. Moreover, if a minister must divest himself of his stocks, so must all other elected representatives, as well as those appointed, as to the Senate, who can exert some influence on legis- lation and policy. And again we can- not expect our representatives to make such sacrifices for such a poor reason. By insisting on the sacrifice we'd do two things: reduce our poten- tial legislators to a class of improvi- dent office-seekers; and create a poli- tical atmosphere of suspicion and dis- trust in which a decent man could not work. Business Not all regions showed increases, however. Service stations have been reporting increased sales in all tourist regions except Thunder Bay and Rainy River. The Kawartha Lakes Tourist Association lodges and motels had unfilled accom- modation late in July. The department of travel and publicity gives no ex- planation for the soft spots, but there is a possibility that the increase in boat travel through the Kawarthas has damaged the lodge and motel business, not so much because it puts people in boat bunks instead of motel beds but because it is reaching the point. where it makes the area less attractive to the fisherman and the swimmer ; the greater the boat traffic, the greater the water pollution -- the fewer the fish, and the more the beer cans and trash along the shores. indicated some Car Insurance Rates Almost every. court in Canada runs days, weeks and months behind in handling cases of automobile accident claims. What is often forgotten in this situation is that these court costs are added to the cost of car accident insurance, the Vancouver Sun notes, and comments: Insurance costs are going up steadi- ly in Canada, not only because of an increase in accidents, but also because of the great increase of litigation. This holds true for every province except Saskatchewan, which has com- pulsory automobile insurance, ope- rated by the government. In this one case, bureaucracy ap- parently has not made for waste. A study by the Consumers' Union in the United States, a non-profit organization which evaluates products and services, shows the Automobile Accident Insurance Fund of Saskat- chewan is the most econvmical on the continent. Eighty-two cents out of every dollar goes to pay claims. The other 18 cents goes for expenses. By comparison, for every dollar paid into private U.S. plans, 52 cents She Oshawa Times T. L.

Other Editors' Views EASY DOESN'T DO IT Peterborough Examiner The emphasis on doing. every- thing the easy way has been one of the curses of the present century. No one objects to labor-saving devices which washes dishes and. clothes, polish floors, clean carpets, saw wood, dig ditches and shovel snow. But it is dangerous to make the mistake of assuming there is an easy way to do everything.' The man who pins his faith in writers who tell him how to do everything the easy way is only frustrating his talents and energies.

G. MOLNED, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I am a young housewife, aged 24, and am very clean with my home, my children and the food we eat. But. somehow we seem to have developed a case of pin- worms. I know enough of the symptoms to recognize them. But I can't seem to bring my- self to go to my family doctor. I'm sure my embarrassment is due to the fact that I don't know how they get started. I've heard that everyone has them, only they don't get out of hand. And if one person in the family has them, they can spread. MRS. D. The start of pinworms is not a matter of unclean living. It's a matter of swallowing some pinworm eggs which are invisi- ble except under magnification. About three - fourths of all children have pinworms at some time. Except for the cold and one or two children's dis- eases, there probably is no ail- ment more common among them. In view of this, you shouldn't have any more hesitancy about going to your family doctor than you would if the young- sters had measles, chickenpox or a bad cold in the head. Neither I nor anyone else would want to live in a house- hold so rigidly sterile that pin- worms couldn't enter--it would mean such restrictive things as not permitting the children to play with a neighbor's toy, or "rassle' with the kids next door. Children stick their fin- gers in their mouths and if from a toy or whatever, they have happened to acquire a couple of invisible pinworms, the trouble can start. It's that simple. Therefore, pinworms are no reflection on one's meticulous housekeeping, nor should they be a reason for embarrassment about going to the doctor. He's seen them before, and may have had them in his own fam- ily. The new drugs for pinworm are both simpler and far more effective than in the past. Dear Dr. Molner: For the last six months, I've been getting cramps about once a month and there is usually a small whitish REPORT FROM U.K. Great Expansion Of Toy Industry By M. McINTYRE HDOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON --.One of the most progressive industries in Britain, and one which has been boom- ing in recent years, is the toy field of industry in the last few years has been spectacular. Firms engaged in it are looking for still greater growth, and are preparing to push up its expprt business to higher levels, if Britain should join the Euro- pean Common Market. Britain's toy industry is now the third largest in the world. Only the United States and Japan produce a greater vol- ume of toys. Production in the British industry has risen from $23 millon in 1945 to $130 mil- lion in 1961. Exports of toys have risen in the same time from $1,200,000 to $30 million. One of the interesting statist- ics of the industry is that the average amount spent annually on toys per child in this country is now $21 and this is rising steadily towards the United States average of $30 per child. LIKES EUROMART Walter Lines, who is chair- man of the British group which includes the biggest toy-making concern in Europe, said in the annual report of the associa- tion: "I hope Great Britain will join the Comimon Market." He said that to achieve the best results the company or its subsidiaries must manufacture on a considerable scale inside the huge European area. He saw in this a first-rate invest- ment for the future. Although he made it clear that the plans under consideration would take some time to ma- ture, much has already been done in this direction. There has been the purchase of a toy and baby carriage firm in France. At Calais, across the English Channel from Dover, a new factory has been built, par- ticularly for the manufacture of scale model electric 'trains and other products which are becoming increasingly popular all over Europe Recently arrangements were f completed for a link-up with a large German toy-making com- pany. Other moves include the setting up of European -head- quarters in Paris, and subsid- iary sales companies with sales rooms and warehouses in Paris, Burrsels, Amsterdam, Frank- furt, Basle and Milan. Other toy firms have also es- tablished themselves or are in the process of doing so within the six countries of the Common Market group. One London Com- pany, now exporting between 20 and 25 per cent of its toys and other plastics products, is hav- ing a big success in European markets. with make-it-yourself model kits, the growth of which has been one of the success stor. ies of the industry of the last decade. This firm has sold ap- proximately 150 million of its models, with the Spitfire fight- er aircraft the top seller. But many other British toys are now being sold within the Common Market area, even dolls to traditionally doll-mak- ing Germany. And cowboy sets have taken a leading place among the big selling items go- ing into the European export market. ish pink.

Dear Dr. Molner: In high school I learned that a meal of foods of one color, such as chicken, Irish potatoes, vanilla ice cream and white cake, is not a balanced diet and has no food value. Is this true? Will beer every night help me to gain weight?--MRS. D. L. The list you give is an un- balanced menu, but a person doesn't select food just by color. Green vegetables and yellow vegetables are important, and the color is a good guide, but you could substitute red meat for the chicken and still be faulty. Add a cooked vegetable, a fresh vegetable, fruit, some milk (white) and you will have a well-balanced diet. As to gaining weight by beer --well, it contains calories, Cal- ories add weight.

"= OTTAWA REPORT Gains And Losses Shown In Returns By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- The 1962 general election was even more of a "squeaker" than the election night returns indicated. year polled a total of 6,356 votes, in vivid contrast and marking a steady decline from the surprising total of 111,892 bona which they amassed in This is confirmed by the of- 494 ficial tabulation of the final count, poll by poll and con- stituency by constituency, just released by our indefatigable chief electoral officer, Nelson Castonguay. Less than one-twentieth of one per cent of the electorate of over 9,650,000 represented the difference between the nation- wide support given to each of the two big parties, with the Liberals' total of 2,871,868 giv- ing them the edge by 4,315 votes. The Liberals' total vote was vell short of their record of 2,929,391 votes which they at. tracted from a smaller elector- ate in the 1949 election. But it just nosed out their 1953 total to be the second largest poll they have ever attracted. For the Conservatives, this was also their second highest poll in history. But it fell more than 1,000,000 votes short of the 3.911,195 which they totalled in 1958, and which remains by far the highest total vote ever gained by any political party in Canadian politics. SMALL PARTIES BOOM The New Democratic Party won a total of 1,036,056 as 1962 sav' the first 1,000,000-vote poll ever given to socialism in Can- ada. The old Co - operative Commonwealth Federation at- tained a peak of 822,661 votes in 1945. But that figure repre- sented 16 per cent of the total votes cast that year; the mil- lion-vote poll won by the NDP this year represented only a considerably smaller 11 per cent of the total votes cast by all electors. The 19 NDP MPs elected this year compare poorly in total with CCF's peak of 28 MPs elected in that 1945 election. The Social Credit group have even more cause for satisfac. tion in making this a banner year for their party, Their can- didates together attracted 896,- 427 votes, more than double their previous best attained in 1957. In that year they elected 19 MPs, which was their best performance prior to this year's election when 30 of their candi- dates were elected to Parlia- ment. There will be few tears shed for the Communists, who this Aussies Plan Big Offensive For New Trade MELBOURNE (Reuters)--Au- stralia has embarked on a big trade development program to meet the problems expected to arise from Britain's entry into the European Common Market. Gloomy forecasts which fol- lowed Britain's application to join now have given way here to declarations from national leaders that Australia is facing a challenge, not a disaster. Prime Minister Robert Men- zies gave this theme. his offi- cial support in a speech at Wol- longong, New South Wales, where he declared that "Austra- lians have never yet failed to meet a challenge and we shall not fail this time. The foundations are being laid for Operation Trade, an ex- port offensive aimed at new customers, possibly with new goods, and certainly with new techniques 'of promotion and marketing. The new export peak of 1,- 070,000,000 ($2,407,500,000) for 1961-62, nearly _ 8,000,000 ($180,000,000) above the prev- ious best, and the slow but steady improvement in the na- tions internal economy since the unexpected shock of the 1960 deflationary measures, have contributed to a more mel- low domestic climate in which the prophets of gloom no longer flourish. UNEMPLOYMENT FALLS Unemployment, though - still high for Australia--the official August figure was 120,000 out of an estimated total work force of 4,300,000--is falling in many of those industries which were hardest hit by the recession-- motor vehicle and accessory manufacture, agricultural ma- chinery, textiles and knitted goods and the clothing industry. Recent agreements between Canada and Australia and tha members of the Common Mar- ket, affecting fruit, meats, some metals and other goods, show that thore is still room for concessions. In. defining the problem as Australia sees it, trade officials here have split the 160,000,000 ($360,000,000) annual value of British purchases from Austra- lia into two roughly equal parts. The. first includes dried and canned fruits, lead, zinc, lea- ther, processed foods and man- ufactures, all of which at pres- ert enjoy substantial preference be least able to overcome the on the British market and might: obstacle of a high Common Market tariff wall.

This year, the Conservatives won 116 seats in the House of Commons, while the . Liberals with a slightly larger total vote won only 100 seats. But on the basis of propor- tional representation, each of those parties would have won only 98 seats. By the same ex- act relationship to the total votes, the NDP woul¢ have won 37 instead of the 19 seats they now hold; and the Socia! Credit group would have won 32 seats, iad more than their actual The record polls attracted this year by the two smaller parties indicate a weakening of the hold of the two old parties on the electorate. But the progressive slu.aping of the electoral appeal of independent candidates since the war suggests: that party machines increasingly dominate the electoral field. When one realises that sums in excess of $50,000 are not uncommonly spent by just one candidate, it is easy to appreciate that it is : fe arrsomyeving Bigg for an individualistic little guy to buck candidates supported by the fund-raising drives of the big party machines, Perhaps also the North Amer- ican tendency to conformism is spreading over into the field of politics, so that few voters want to support a maverick candi- date who might have some orig- inal theory to fight for in Parlia- ment, but who cannot expect to deliver any patronage to his constituency. Whatever the rea- son, the votes dedicated to can- didates outside the four national parties have steadily dwindled in total, from 582,393 in 1945 to only 14,315 this year. GALLUP POLL Public Vetoes Proposal For Reduced Work Week By The Canadian Institute of Public Opinion Success of a New York elec- trical workers union in win- ning a 5-hour workday has focused attention on the issue of working hours per week among many people. Results of nationwide surveys in both Canada and the U.S. show that the public is still opposed to the idea of an across-the-board reduction in the standard work week of 40 hours in most in- dustries. By about a 2-to-1 vote, the public in both countries turns down the suggestion that the work week be reduced from 40 to 35 hours. Should work week be reduced? Yes, it should ......seeee- No, it should not .. Undecided seeeeeeeeeesees While Canadians, on the aver- age, do not befleve in reducing the work week, the question may become an important bar- gaining factor before too long.

'Non Union Households June (World Copyright Reserved) QUEEN'S PARK ARDA Could Have Splendid Results By DON 0O'HEARN TORONTO--A dreamer could have a wonderful time with ARDA. You quite probably are not aware of ARDA. This symbol stands for the federal Agricultural Rehabilita- tion and Development Act. This act could be one of the most inspired pieces of legisla- tion in our recent Canadian his- tory--if you are an idealist. Its aim is to reclaim the mar- ginal farm lands in the country. To take the rock-filled and sand-swept farms that have been abused and over-worked and bring them back to prac- tical purpose. With some of them to turn' them back to forest, with oth- ers to convert them into pas- ture, with others to make them recreation land. In all cases to restore them to health and make them an asset instead of an ugly liability. KILL IT? One day this program could mean great things for Canada, But it won't succeed over- night. In fact it might well be killed for just this reason: that we ex- pect too much out of it too soon. The reason for talking about this at all is that recently the responsibility for the program was transferred from the de- partment of lands and forests to the department of agricul- ture. It was found that really the program was more concerned with agriculture than with con- servation (which was why it was with lands and forests) so it was transferred. This illustrates only one of the many kinks that have to be ironed out in a new program such as this. And unhappily with new programs any of such kinks can. tend to kill them. If there isn't: enough force and desire behind them they can die be- bore bureaucracy -- as ARDA probably would have had it been left in lands and forests. This is a program on which we practical idealists -- and really who isn't one?--will be keeping a close eye. If carefully and cautiously ad- ministered in its early stages it can be a tremendous thing. And there is encouragement from the attitude of officials here in its still very early stages. They appreciate that if the program is to live up to its po- tential it will have to get its steam at the local level. That only here, where the jea- lousies and problems are at least neighborly, can a united approach be worked out. And in a situation such as this, which essentially involves public re- clamation of privately - owned lands, unity is essential. So their approach is to try and organize local interest. Ag- riculture people are now at work on this. There could be ex- tremely valuable results. J wont.
